ab-multipath

Load test multiple paths on a domain with Apache Benchmark (ab)... a crappy but quick way to generate load.

Original work by Alain Kelder: http://giantdorks.org/alain/simple-script-to-test-website-performance/

Script needs four arguments, where:

• 1. Number of times to repeat test (e.g. 10)
• 2. Total number of requests per run (e.g. 100)
• 3. How many requests to make at once (e.g. 50)
• 4. URL of the site to test (e.g. http://giantdorks.org/)

Example:

./load.sh 10 100 50 http://giantdorks.org/

The above will send 100 GET requests (50 at a time) to http://giantdorks.org. The test will be repeated 10 times.

@todo

• add run start time so it's easy to trace back in logs and newrelic
• make paths configurable, currently hardcoded in for loop
• more useful output?
• quick benchtesting tips in readme?
